City to Surf

So I survived the Sydney, "City to Surf". It is a 14K fun run - a fun run with 64, 761 people this year to be exact!! As you can see in the photo to the right it was a packed event. Kieran and I had never done this event before so we were not sure what to sign up for. There were three groups - the serious runners, the semi-serious runners, and the rest of us. We signed up to be "Back of the Pack" which was good since neither of us trained very hard for this. We wound up walking most of it and finished in about 2 1/2 hours. The weather was awesome. We start in the middle of the city and walk to Bondi Beach. It was a gorgeous course with plenty of hills and views of the city and water. Once you got to the beach it was one big party! Very good day. If you are interested in seeing more about the event you can check out http://city2surf.sunherald.com.au/

Otherwise things are going well. The weather is getting much better which has improved everyone's moods. Teaching is fun and I have learned so much. We do not have a whole lot else planned before the wedding. Kieran will be very busy at work right up to the end of the season because Manly just keeps on winning. They have a good chance of winning the whole thing this year. I survived my detox and maybe even lost a pound or two - it is good to have meat and dairy again after two weeks without it though!! We made a field trip to IKEA the other weekend and got a bookcase and some decorations for around the place. We also got a futon so bring on the visitors!! Our apartment is becoming more and more of a home everyday. Well, that is all for now. Keep in touch and I will see everyone soon!
